The Ford Escape is expected to be completely overhauled (redesigned and re-engineered) for the 2020 model year, representing the fourth generation of the Escape nameplate.

Following is speculative and unconfirmed information about the 2020 Ford Escape. This page is a continuous work-in-progress and will be updated on a regular basis as we await official details from Ford.

If you notice any inaccuracies about the information provided, or have edits to suggest, please let us know here.

2020 Ford Escape Body Styles

It’s expected that the 2020 Ford Escape will be offered in two body styles for the fourth generation:

The first will be slightly larger that the third-generation model with a third row seat option; this model will retain the Escape name

The second will be a slightly smaller and sportier than the third-generation model with two rows of seating; this model will potentially be designed as “Escape Sport” or “Escape Mini”

2020 Ford Escape Platform

The 2020 Ford Escape will ride on the all-new scalable Ford front-drive platform. The transverse-engine, front-drive architecture will also be shared with all other front-drive Ford Motor Company vehicles.

2020 Ford Escape Powertrain

The 2020 Ford Escape is expected to be powered by a series of small-displacement three-cylinder and four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines, depending on market. A plug-in hybrid variant is also expected.

2020 Ford Escape Production

The 2020 Ford Escape will be assembled at global Ford Motor Company plants, including in North America, Europe (as the Kuga) and China. Production in Russia and South America is also possible.

2020 Ford Escape Availability

We expect the 2020 Ford Escape to launch in the second or third quarter of the 2019 calendar year. A debut some time in 2018 calendar year is likely.

Beyond 2020

We expect that the fourth-generation Escape will be introduced for the 2020 model year and live on thru at least through the 2026 model year.
